    Mine arrived about 20 minutes ago, and it's a lovely thing of loveliness. I have to say the whole package is a step up again even over my previous TF watches, e.g. the printing of the leaflet, the...

    I like the feel of a fountain pen better when writing; as with watches, what is 'best' is a matter of personal taste, but my everyday writer is a £15 Lamy Safari. It's cheap enough to be easily...

    #815 for me; I think it's running about +10, but seems to be settling down. Once I acquired a fine springbar tool and two 1.5mm screwdrivers, I found sizing the bracelet fairly simple; a bit fiddly,...

    That's a De Havilland DH.108 Swallow and a trio of Armstrong Whitworth AW.52 Flying wings; all late 1940s jet research aircraft. What, me, spoddy?
